I recently upgraded from 1.04 to 1.10.5 and now I can't play back any of my .mkv-files.I had the same issue in 1.10.1 and had hoped that the addressed fixed flaw concerning transcoding might had solved it, which it didn't.

When just trying to play a file (usine MEncoder?), the error I usually get is "The data is corrupted." followed by an icon saying the same thing.So I choose the #-TRANSCODE-#-option where I get four (4) options:sample.mkv [MEncoder]*[TsMuxer]*MEncoder {Audio: AC3/Undetermined}*TsMuxer {Audio: AC3/Undetermined}*

All these four options show the correct timestamp for the file, 1'04".None of them can play the file though, not even the audio.

In 1.04 it works if I transcode using TsMuxer but not in 1.10.1 or 1.10.5In 1.10.5 I get this:[main] TRACE 17:55:59.208 It's ready! You should see the server appears on XMB[Thread-115] TRACE 17:56:08.125 Starting transcode/remux of sample.mkv[Thread-115] TRACE 17:56:08.167 Process ffmpeg has a return code of 1! Maybe an error occured... check the log file

Hi, and thanks for the quick answer.However, your answer is not constructive in any way.If ffmpeg is way too old, why does playback work in 1.04 and not in 1.10.5?Isn't it MEncoder or TsMuxer that is used also?

Ahh, that would explain it. It was easier said than done to update ffmpeg.I'm a bit paranoid about using too many unstable/testing packages in Debian, but finally managed to get a ffmpeg-version from 20090303.Not it seems to work alot better.Many of the files play without using the #-TRANSCODE-#-option now, but sometimes I must use TsMuxer to get them to work.
